Edible parts

Ripe fruits
Recipe idea for your 'Siberia' tomato harvest. For a salad where tomatoes take center stage, cut the ripe fruit into wedges or thick slices and arrange them in a shallow dish. Finely slice a small shallot, then add it along with a few hand-torn basil leaves. Whisk olive oil with a little cider vinegar and pour this dressing over just before serving. Salt gradually to keep the flavor of the fruit in the foreground. Add fresh cheese or toasted bread if desired. Spoon the juices from the bottom of the dish over the final bites. Let the size of the fruit guide your cutting: leave small fruits bite-sized and divide large tomatoes into easy-to-eat pieces. Very juicy flesh is best added at the last minute to a fresh preparation. For cooking, use a fairly wide surface so that the juices can evaporate.
